Receiving device, data file recording method, and program

Abstract

A receiving device includes a communication unit receiving at least one data file from another device via a communication connection; and a control unit controlling recording of the data file received from the communication unit in a recording medium. The control unit creates one data recording folder for one communication connection in a predetermined reception folder provided in the recording medium and records, in the created data recording folder, the data file received via the communication connection corresponding to the data recording folder and a management file in which attribute information regarding each data file is stored.

1 . A receiving device comprising:
 a communication unit receiving at least one data file from another device via a communication connection; and   a control unit controlling recording of the data file received from the communication unit in a recording medium; wherein   the control unit creates one data recording folder for one communication connection in a predetermined reception folder provided in the recording medium and records, in the created data recording folder, the data file received via the communication connection corresponding to the data recording folder and a management file in which attribute information regarding each data file is stored.   
     
     
         2 . The receiving device according to  claim 1 , wherein the control unit records the data file immediately below the data recording folder irrespectively of a file path of each data file before transfer. 
     
     
         3 . The receiving device according to  claim 2 , wherein the control unit changes a file name of each data file according to a predetermined rule, and then records each data file in the data recording folder. 
     
     
         4 . The receiving device according to  claim 3 , wherein the control unit stores, in the management file, a file path of each data file in the other device before transfer as the attribute information of the data file. 
     
     
         5 . The receiving device according to  claim 4 , wherein the control unit outputs the management file together with the data file to a device in which the data file recorded in the data recording folder is to be arranged according to the file path before transfer. 
     
     
         6 . The receiving device according to any one of  claims 1  to  5 , wherein the recording medium is a recording medium having a predetermined restriction on a depth of a hierarchy of creatable folders. 
     
     
         7 . The receiving device according to any one of  claims 1  to  6 , wherein the communication connection is a communication connection established according to a short-range wireless communication technique. 
     
     
         8 . A data file recording method in a receiving device receiving at least one data file from another device via a communication connection, the method comprising the steps of:
 establishing the communication connection with the other device;   creating one data recording folder for one communication connection in a predetermined reception folder provided in the recording medium; and   recording, in the created data recording folder, the data file received via the communication connection corresponding to the data recording folder, and a management file in which attribute information regarding each data file is stored.   
     
     
         9 . A program causing a computer controlling a receiving device receiving at least one data file from another device via a communication connection to function as a control unit controlling recording of the received data file in a recording medium, wherein
 the control unit creates one data recording folder for one communication connection in a predetermined reception folder provided in the recording medium and records, in the created data recording folder the data file received via the communication connection corresponding to the data recording folder and a management file in which attribute information regarding each data file is stored.
